The urinary bladder is a hollow muscular organ present in the body of vertebrates including humans. It stores urine from the kidneys before it is disposed of by urination. Many conditions can affect the bladder. Some common urinary bladder diseases are bladder inflammation, bladder rupture, and bladder obstruction. Cystitis, sometimes referred to as urinary tract infection (UTI), is a common infection caused by bacteria. Bladder rupture occurs when the bladder is overfilled and not emptied on time. Bladder obstruction, or tamponade, is a result of blood clot formation near the bladder outlet. This book aims to shed light on some of the unexplored aspects of bladder diseases and the recent researches in this field. It will also provide interesting topics for research which interested readers can take up. A number of latest researches have been included in this book to keep the readers up-to-date with the global concepts in this area of study.
